Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now Japan’s seventh biggest game launch of all time.
According to Game Data Library – self-described as “the largest collection of Japanese games sales on the internet” – it has surpassed the launches of huge games across all platforms, including Final Fantasy 7, Pokémon Sun/Moon, and Monster Hunter: World.
Only Pokémon Scarlet/Violet – which holds the top spot – Splatoon 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Black/White, Final Fantasy 8, and Dragon Quest 9 have shifted more copies in Japan at launch (thanks, mynintendonews).
